Description Milan Knížek 2013-04-21 10:12:44 UTC

When exporting images from digiKam to be sent via email, the existing ICC profile is stripped from the image and image is not converted to the de-facto standard (sRGB) web profile.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select few images in dk album view 
2. Choose menu Export / Send Images

Actual Results:  
Image remains encoded in the original color space and the embedded ICC profil is stripped.

Expected Results:  
If image is encoded in non-sRGB color space, it should be converted to it and then the embedded ICC profile stripped. The corresponding EXIF tags should be set to refer to sRGB color space.

KDE 4.10.2, digikam 3.1.0, kipi-plugins 3.1.0-1, Arch Linux
Default color space in digiKam set to AdobeRGB. Test image was encoded with BGR.icc (synthetic profile with swapped channels to see easily if things go wrong).

In background, conversion of image is done through QImage, which do not support CM...

Is there a chance that this bug might attract some developers?

I cannot code, bash scripting is my only choice for any work-around (I'll probably use the "Open with..." right-mouse-click menu).

As i explain in comment #1, the background process use QImage and still simple without CM supports. So this which still out of space of this tool goal...

Not sure when things changed, but currently digikam at least converts the image to sRGB, strips the profile and sets the JPEG tag to sRGB as well. So it seems "FIXED".
